Jazzfest Budapest will feature musicians from 23 countries on five continents between April 26 and May 17, as part of the Budapest Spring Festival.

The second Jazzfest Budapest will be opened by US singer Lizz Wright with a concert at the Eiffel Art Studios which will be one of the ten venues offering events. Internationally acclaimed Hungarian jazz musicians including Tamara Mózes, Kornél Mogyoró, Miklós Lukács, Mihály Borbély and Krisztián Oláh will also perform.

The list of venues will include the Music Academy, Erkel Theatre and the Italian Institute, and an open-air stage at Madách Square which will offer concerts on April 30, marking International Jazz Day.
